Beach Handball

Beach Handball developed in the 1990s in Italy in order to adapt the indoor version to the beach environment.

By 1994 it has become an official competition form of the International Handball Federation (IHF), recognized and approved a few years later by major sport agencies and organisations (IOC, IWGA, SportAccord). The popularity of the sport has expanded fast and today Beach Handball is played all around the world.
